Radeon may have just won the battle for 1080p gaming supremacy this time around.
Reviews for AMD's recently released Radeon RX 6600 XT are now out, and they are telling. Slated to go up directly against the NVIDIA RTX 3060, the AMD graphics card proved to be the better of the two in terms of delivering silky-smooth Full HD gaming, writes Digital Trends.
"Assassin's Creed Valhalla," which is one of the most demanding games of this generation even at 1080p, saw the AMD card score an average of 84 FPS with all the visuals cranked up to ultra at 1080p. NVIDIA's RTX 3060, on the other hand, logged a measly 64 FPS average.
All in all, Tom's Guide's benchmarks had the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT as the clear winner versus the RTX 3060 from NVIDIA at 1080p. That is barring a few games where the 3060 did score higher, though, such as "Grand Theft Auto V" and "Shadow of the Tomb Raider."
These numbers are also done in native 1080p testing. Given that AMD will most certainly implement FidelityFX support on this card, the performance numbers can go up even higher.
Is The Pricing Good Enough?
So far, the new Radeon card hasn't appeared much in online marketplaces. This means that only its MSRP of $379 can be used at the moment of this writing when it comes to pricing.
At MSRP, the AMD RX 6600 XT is more expensive than the NVIDIA RTX 3060, which is supposed to be priced at $329. However, the 3060's current street pricing from sites like eBay is still in the $600-$700 range. Assuming that the AMD card will stay well below the 3060's resale prices, then it will be the better deal of the two. But of course, that remains to be seen.
